1 Arbitrage in Indian agricultural commodities derivatives markets March 2, 2007
2 Development of Indian agricultural derivatives markets Local markets for futures on agricultural commodities have been recorded to be around from the These were banned in the late 60s, and revived in the early 80s. After the successful equity market reforms of 90s, the commodities derivatives regulator tried to replicate similar reforms for the commodity derivatives markets. This got a significant push in 1999 when the Government of India (GOI) suggested that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) as a price hedging instrument could be replaced with derivatives markets. However, the condition was that these markets were liquid and efficient, backed by prevailing best practices of trading, clearing and settlement.

4 State of the Indian commodity derivatives markets Three national, multi-commodity exchanges from end These compete on trading commodities: for example, both MCX and NCDEX trade guar seed, both NCDEX and NMCE trade pepper. Local exchanges trading a single commodity still exist. However, these are steadily losing business to the national, multi-commodity exchanges. The institutions at the national commodity exchanges follow the institutions at the equity market for trading (electronic, limit order book) and clearing (clearing corporations with novation). However, settlement in equity derivatives is done using cash settlement. Commodities are physically settled.

7 Can the commodity derivatives be used for hedging price risk? Derivatives contracts can be good hedging instruments when they are efficiently priced. We measure efficiency as the outcome of a no-arbitrage condition. In the context of commodity futures, no-arbitrage is defined when the futures and the spot price move in tandem.

10 Basis and basis risk behaviour We operationalise this as analysing the behaviour of returns on the futures contract vis-a-vis returns on the spot. If the no-arbitrage condition is satisfied, then there should be a very high correlation between the two. We define basis as Basis = r futures r spot Basis should be very small, and have a low volatility if no-arbitrage conditions hold.

12 Efficiency on the traditional futures markets Thomas and Karande (1999) examined efficiency of the castor-seed futures markets in India. The examination included identifying: 1 The flow of information between futures and spot prices, as well as, 2 The behaviour of the basis and basis risk across two different markets, one export-oriented and another production-oriented. They find that futures dominate spot prices, and that the export-oriented market prices dominate production-oriented market except in the harvest season when the relation was reversed. Ramaswamy and Singh (2006) examine the use the soyoil futures contract for hedging purposes, using the same principle of no-arbitrage conditions being satisfied. They find that there are very low arbitrage opportunities in this market.

14 Examining basis for contracts on the new exchanges We analyse the basis for five commodities that trade on the national multicommodity exchanges. These are: 1 Guar seed: This is the commodity where there has been the longest period with significant liquidity. 2 Wheat: One of the essential commodities where the government maintains a minimum support price (MSP). 3 Pepper: Pepper futures has been traded on an international exchange in Cochin since the eighties. 4 Channa (chickpeas): A commodity that does not have a MSP, but is a price that has some political sensitivity. 5 Jeera (cumin): This is one of the newest entrants on the electronic exchange with low liquidity.

20 Comparitives Since efficiency and liquidity is best understood as a relative measure, we identify some other Indian markets to provide benchmarks for the above commodities. The longest running as well as the most liquid derivatives Indian market is the futures market on the market index, Nifty. However, the risk of this is that of a diversified portfolio. Another comparitive can be the most liquid single stock futures contract. We use the futures on the Tata Steel stock. Both these financial futures are very different from the commodities contracts because they are cash-settled. A last comparitive that we use is the gold futures contract, which is very liquid and is physically settled.

25 Simple correlations between r futures and r futures Following are the correlations calculated using the entire set of data on futures and spot returns for a given commodity. Commodity ρ Guar seed Wheat Pepper Jeera Channa 0.515
26 Problems with the above A raw correlation includes both the systematic and the unsystematic correlation between the two. What we would prefer to use is a regression of the futures returns on the spot returns. The OLS coefficient would tell us the systematic comovement between the futures and spot returns. The OLS R 2 would tell us how much of the variance of the futures return is being captured by the spot (or vice-versa). Thus, we examine the OLS regression of futures on spot returns for the above.

31 Problems with interpreting the above One problem is that the entire period of data includes highly variable periods of liquidity for each commodity. This implies that at different periods, there would be different amounts of arbitrage available. Another problem is that there are often contract specification changes. These are adjustments made to the contract by the exchange in response to poor liquidity on an existing contract. Eg., wheat. Therefore, we examine just the last two months of futures trading for each of the above.

35 Inferences Guar Seed shows the best signs of low arbitrage opportunities and good hedging prospects. Wheat and Channa show the worst signs of poor hedging prospects. Both Jeera and Pepper have a high β but a low R 2 which is endemic of poor liquidity. The data above would suggest that cash-settled contracts tend to be more amenable to no-arbitrage conditions than physically settled contracts.
